I read the thread about dissasembly vs. keeping instrument assembled. Here is a different variation.
What about those double cases that keep the bell attached to the lower joint?
R13 attache and pouchette double cases have the bell still attached to the lower joint. Specialty cases allow you to separate the parts (Orly, Wiseman, etc) but are bulkier units--and costly.
How safe is it to keep the bell on the partly-dissasembled horn?
Thanx

Probably the safest of the 4. It's surprising that no one markets a "sock" to put over a Bb Sop. while its on its stand. They have 'em for flutes. Silk with a built in humidity wick, for ex.

The only caution you need to take with these cases is to loosen the bell before putting it in the case. I usually have the joint as "open" as possible for the space in the case to avoid excessive cork problems. Not that I ever have had any cork problems. I'm just paranoid!
LOL!

I have seen those "socks" available for Clarinet, Oboe, English Horn, etc. I think the Woodwind and Brasswind did/does. -Corey

I purchased a used A clarinet that had been hardly played at all. It had probably spent 5 years in the case with the bell attached. The cork on the bottom tenon is badly compressed. I now store the bell in the spot for the Bb bell and only put both instruments in the case when I need to.
